Leptospira sanjuanensis sp. nov., a pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira isolated from soil in Puerto Rico.
International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology(2022)
摘要
Two spirochetes (designated strains LGVF01 and LGVF02T) were isolated from soil samples in San Juan, Puerto Rico in HAN media after selection using a combination of ELISA, agar plating, and colony screening by Fluorescent Antibody Testing (FAT) and PCR for lipL32 and secY. Isolates were helix-shaped, aerobic, fast-growing, and highly motile. Genome sequence analysis indicated that both strains should be classified as members of a novel species within the pathogenic (P1) clade of the genus Leptospira . The average nucleotide identity between the two strains was 99.2 %, but below 93.2 % when compared to any previously described leptospiral species. Serotyping of strain LGVF02T indicates that it does not belong within any serogroup of Leptospira suggesting it also represents a new serovar. Collectively, strains LGVF01 and LGVF02T represent a new species of pathogenic leptospires for which the name Leptospira sanjuanensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LGVF02T (=NVSL-LGVF02T=KIT0302T).
